Advertising Code & Guidelines

The Proshare Advertising Code & Guidelines (â€œthe Codeâ€�)
adopted by TheANALYST sets the criteria for acceptable advertising
on all proshare suites/domains. Created since 2009 to promote the
professional application of best practice advertising guidelines
for an investment portal, the Code is the cornerstone of our
ethical application of self-regulation in the discharge of our
responsibilities.

Administered by the board of directors, the Code is regularly
updated to ensure it is current and keeps pace with consumer,
regulatory and societal expectations. It contains 28 clauses that
set the criteria for acceptable advertising that is truthful, fair
and accurate.

More than that, it provides a clear-cut resolution of possible
conflict of interest, role and opinion that may arise where
journalists, analysts and researchers issue news, reports and
opinion on entities previously, currently or proposing to advertise
with, and on the proshare platform(s).

TheANALYST recognizes that when used professionally and fairly,
online advertising provides the consumer/client with needed and
useful information; and investors the basis to use such
communication as they deem fit. TheANALYST therefore believes that
online advertising for a market data firm should be patterned along
the following guidelines:

General Policies

The intent and connotation of the adverts placed would be to
inform and never to discredit or unfairly attack competitors,
competing products and services. The advert would compare related
or similar properties of the product or service dimension to
dimension and feature to feature. The identification promos for the
advert would be for honest comparison purposes and not simply to
upgrade by association. In all cases, the advert would be
supportive of its claims in its communication effect and purpose.
The advert by its very nature will not distort facts and by
implication not convey to the consumer information that
misrepresents the truth. The advertisement would never use partial
or insignificant results to cause improper conclusion for
consumers. The advertisement would be fairly and properly
communicated but never in a manner or tone that reduces the
objectives or philosophy of the organization. Comparatives
delivered through the use of testimonials would not imply that the
testimonials are more than one individualâ€™s thoughts unless, that
individual represents a sample of the majority view point.
Comparisons, if made would be significant in terms of value or
usefulness of the product or service to the consumer. Advertiser
will promptly respond to any complaints by consumers/clients on a
particular advert or campaign Refunds will not be made for
suspended or truncated campaigns. TheANALYST however may consider
in rare cases saving the paid charges of such a campaign for
another future campaign.

Conflict of Interest Disclosures

The advertising service is separate and distinct from the
Independent Analyst Service rendered by TheANALYST; ensuring that
advertising services do not conflict with the analystâ€™s opinion.

The research analyst(s) are primarily responsible for the
preparation and content of all or any identified portion of this
research report hereby certifies that all of the views expressed
herein accurately reflect their personal views about those
issuer(s) or subject securities. Each research analyst(s) also
certify that no part of their compensation was, is, or will be,
directly or indirectly, related to the specific recommendation(s)
or view(s) expressed by that research analyst in any given report;
unless otherwise disclosed.

In situations where TheANALYST is not satisfied that our
arrangements to handle conflicts are sufficient to prevent a
conflict from potentially harming your interests, we will disclose
the nature and source of the conflict to you and if appropriate,
obtain the permission of the advertiser to proceed with the
service. For further information on how we handle conflict of
interest, see our policy below.

Creative Work /Technical Guidelines

All creative work and technical details including words, service
propositions and deliverables carried on TheANALYST website are the
sole responsibility of advertisers. TheANALYST however reserves the
right to reject or deny any claim it knows, believes or considers
to be or appear as a misrepresentation of reality to the publicâ€™s
it serves. Where TheANALYST agrees to use its competence to design,
create and load adverts for and on behalf of advertisers, it does
so with the client/advertisers acknowledgment of liability for the
message(s) promoted.

Links to Other Websites

TheANALYST website may contain links or references to other
websites. Please be aware that Proshare does not control other
websites and that our terms and conditions relating to third party
websites apply here. We are not responsible for, nor do we endorse,
the contents of these other websites. If you in any way rely on
information obtained from any such websites, you do so at your own
risk.

Approved 3rd Party Advertising & Ad Merchants

Currently TheANALYST does not have any affiliation with third
party Ad merchants and do not carry adverts not directly sourced
from clients that comply with the code. By the nature of our
service, we work with and through partners whom we support by
promoting their businesses through mentions and hyperlinks. This is
in no way an endorsement but a business courtesy we consider
appropriate to reflect their commitment and application to
providing high quality content for the site.Ã‚ Generally, online
social media resources are interactive tools that enable you to
collaborate and share information with others. Social media
resources include but are not limited to social networks,
discussion boards, bulletin boards, blogs, wikis, and referral
functions to share web site content and tools with a friend or
colleague. TheANALYST deploys these resources and encourages users
to sign up for them. We may share advertising on the site as may be
deemed necessary to bring users into awareness of new developments
in the market or promotional campaigns that they may benefit from.

Space Rental & Revolving Door Options

Our AD-Space Rental option allows advertisers to run multiple
campaigns off the spaces provided for tenure-bound adverts at no
extra cost. This is done to avoid a situation where advertisers are
exploited for choosing to change their minds or seek to reduce
their cost per space paid for. The revolving door option signposts
the process through which the AD manager manages adverts on the
site in such a way as to ensure that advertisers are not giving
undue preferences over the other for same services. Adverts are
attached weights which are pre-approved by the management based on
a model guiding the advert rates submitted to clients.

Commissions & Trade Discounts

Commissions are only approved for members of staff of TheANALYST
and Ad Agencies duly appointed by Proshare Ã¢â‚¬â€œ and supported
by an agreement of service contract. TheANALYST does not pay
commissions to members of staff of client companies. Trade
discounts are as advised by the Business & Markets unit, approved
by the board of directors and administered by the Finance function.
It categorically recognizes three scenarios Ã¢â‚¬â€œ repeat
customers, cash-paying customers and partner advertisers who pay

Conflict of Interest

There may be various points when we provide services to you where
our interests and or those of our staff conflict with your
interests. Equally, your interests may occasionally compete with
those of other clients.

Where we are aware, including being made aware, that we are faced
with a situation of competing interests, we will undertake all
reasonable steps to protect your interests and ensure your fair
treatment, in line with the duties we owe you as our client.

TheANALYST has a policy in place to handle conflicts of interest
so that we act with an appropriate degree of independence from our
own interests when transacting with you or dealing on your behalf.
The policy ensures that we identify, prevent and manage conflicts
of interest, including ongoing monitoring of the effectiveness of
the arrangements. The policy is regularly reviewed by senior
management to ensure our arrangements remain robust and fit for
purpose. Some of the conflicts that could arise are shown below, we
expect you to consent to us acting in these situations: Examples of
such situations include:

where we carry out business for and on behalf of other clients,
partners and entities; where we deal on your behalf through an
associate or where an associate is otherwise receiving an agentâ€™s
commission; where we effect or arrange transactions in which we or
an associate benefits from a commission, fee, mark-up or markdown
and/or in respect of which we, or an associate, may also be
remunerated by the counterparty to the transaction; where we match
your transaction with that of another client by acting on their
behalf as agent as well as yours; where we execute a transaction in
circumstances where we have knowledge of other actual or potential
transactions in the investment concerned; where we or our
associates are involved in or act in respect of a new issue, rights
issue, takeover or any other transaction or have any other
relationship with an issuer of investments which is relevant to
investments in which we deal on your behalf or make
recommendations;

We will ensure that transactions into which we enter on your
behalf are on terms that are not materially less favourable to you
than if no potential conflict had existed. When conducting business
for you, we may receive from or pay to a third party commissions or
other benefits in relation to that business. For any such
commissions or benefits, we will ensure that these arrangements
provide for an enhancement of the service to which they relate and
that they do not prevent us from acting in your best interests. For
any business where you are introduced by a third party, we may have
made a payment to the introducer or pay ongoing commissions. You
may request details of these payments.

We provide a range of services and may possess information of a
confidential or non-public nature which we are under a duty not to
disclose or use for our own benefit or anyone else. We will
therefore be unable to use this information on your behalf or
disclose it to you. In providing our services under the Agreement,
we are not obliged to disclose or take into consideration any
information, fact or matter that disclosure of which would be a
breach of a duty of confidentiality to any other person or result
in a breach of any applicable law or regulation.

Content Partnership

To help us serve you better, TheANALYST actively seeks and
identifies quality relationships and joint venture engagements
between service providers, operators, researchers, data owners,
brands, broadcasters, publishers and independents to create
original content for dissemination across our platforms.

Some of these relationships are paid for either as sponsorship
packages or as barter arrangements that allow parties co-finance
and share the exploitation rights to that content and its
intellectual property.
